Geartrax 2023 May 2026

Geartrax 2023 now integrates a "Shaft System" module. You can generate a complete shaft with shoulders, keys, and retaining ring grooves, and then dynamically add gears to the shaft. The software automatically calculates:

The real strength of GearTrax 2023 remains its interoperability. You can design a herringbone gear in five minutes, export it to SOLIDWORKS, and run a simulation. Because the geometry is mathematically pure, you won't get "false interference" warnings in Motion Studies.

Pro Tip for CNC Machinists: Use the "No Cosmetic Teeth" option. GearTrax can generate a solid blank with a single extruded cut representing the tooth space. This keeps your file size small while allowing you to use the "Tooth Space" feature in CAM works for 4th-axis indexing.

Designing a gear is easy; designing an efficient gear is hard. GearTrax 2023 integrates analysis tools to validate designs before manufacturing. geartrax 2023

Before purchasing, verify your hardware:

✅ Time saver – A complex gear train that takes hours to model manually is ready in 2–3 minutes.

✅ Precision – Generates true involute profiles, not approximations. Suitable for CNC or 3D printing. Geartrax 2023 now integrates a "Shaft System" module

✅ Standalone – No need to open SOLIDWORKS to generate the part. Works as its own tool.

✅ Parametric – Outputs native SOLIDWORKS features (extrudes, cuts, patterns) so you can modify them after.

✅ Affordable – Much cheaper than full-blown gear design suites (e.g., KISSsoft). Note: Geartrax 2023 requires a separate license from

As of the 2023 release, Camnetics has shifted to a hybrid model:

Note: Geartrax 2023 requires a separate license from SOLIDWORKS. It does not run on SOLIDWORKS Student Edition.

The core of GearTrax 2023 is its mathematical engine, which translates gear theory into perfect CAD geometry.

While GearTrax 2023 is powerful, note these limitations:
